      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Tesla

      Interview

      I applied for the team that was working on Optimus. The first round was resume review. We had a standard discussion on projects and why you want to join. The next round was a coding interview in C++. The question given in the coding interview was very vague and I was asked to choose everything for myself when I asked for clarity.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write a method in C++ to find the median of a triangle. Did not mention any input data type, or what is given.
